摘要
诺斯的制度变迁理论不仅用国家、产权和意识形态解释了新古典主义经济学很多不能解释的方面,还在思维方式上改变了人们关于政治、经济、文化的因果关系的看法,诺斯的成就来自在方法论上对统一化社会科学的努力。但是,诺斯基于“本土化”观察而产生的制度变迁理论在解释异域制度变迁时遇到困难;即使在解释“本土化”制度变迁中,由于只侧重于连续性变迁方式而忽视了制度变迁中的历史关键时刻,理论的解释力也遇到挑战。由于这种缺失,诺斯必然忽视了非制度性观念与非正式规则的不同。而在关键时刻的制度变迁中,非制度性观念甚至引导着正式制度的创新并改变着非正式规则。因此,要更好地解释制度变迁,诺斯的理论需要嵌入建构主义的基本假设。
North＇s institutional change theory not only explains many aspects using state, property and ideology which Neo-classical economics couldn＇t explain, but also transits people＇s perception on the causation among politics, economy and culture in terms of thinking way. His research method synthesizes approaches of social sciences. However, the institutional change theory which based on local observation faces difficulties in interpreting ＂exogenous forms＂ of institutional change; Even in interpreting the pha Bec local sizes ause institutional change the explainable capability of the theory also faces challenges, since it emexcessively consecutive change pattern but ignores important episodes in institutional changes. of this shortcoming, North neglected the differences between non-institutionalized ideas and informal rules. In the critical juncture of institutional change, ideas even instruct the innovation of formal institution, and changes the informal rules. Therefore, in order to explain the institutional changes better, North＇s theory needs to absorb basic hypothesis of constructivism.
